Made with or without alcohol, your guests will love this Sparkling Apple Cider Punch– perfect for fall entertaining!

Sparkling Apple Cider

Last week my first child had a birthday and we celebrated with our annual turkey chili party with all the toppings! This kid is such a crack-up.

He wanted to make silly faces with Mama before his friends arrived. Who was I to say no?

Apple Cider Punch - The Lemon Bowl

Since we don’t keep soda or juice around on a regular basis, I always like to have a fun drink available for the kids and anyone else who isn’t in the mood for a pumpkin beer. This year I hit a home run with a quick and easy sparkling apple cider punch.

Made with sparkling cider, ginger beer and a splash of lemon juice, the entire punch is scented with star anise and cinnamon sticks.

We kept it non-alcoholic for all of the kids but you could easily turn it into a cocktail by adding bourbon or vodka. One thing is for sure: the party was a huge success and just like that, our little man is another year older.

Your straw is waiting.

Liz’s Notes

The longer the cinnamon stick and star anise pod sit in the liquid the more flavor they will provide.

    Did you use lemon or lime? Description says splash of lemon juice, but ingredient list calls for lime.
